We\u2019ve become slaves to our own false image and it needs to stop. People are being led to believe that the modern currency of social media\u00a0is actually worth something, but it is a trap. Our freedom is under attack and this is sad. We feel sorry for the world, as we live inside such a narrow bandwidth, but there is still hope.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>Moviestar are like no other band on earth. Having formed in the future on planet Fenris,\u00a0Infinity Vik,\u00a0The Octopus Goddess<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Anaconda\u00a0create their own style of art punk pop, filled with sonic twists and eccentric electronica throughout. The compelling trio were chosen to go on a dangerous mission through space and time to retrieve \u201cthe stone\u201d and save the world.
